Publisher's Summary

In the fifth FBI K-9 novel, Sara Driscoll weaves together fast-paced suspense and the fascinating world of law enforcement canines, as Meg Jennings and her search-and-rescue dog, Hawk, are heading south, where it's hunting season. But this time the prey is human. 

One arrow through the heart could be a tragic hunting accident. A second one, within days, looks more like a crime. That's when Meg Jennings and Brian Foster of the FBI's Forensic Canine Unit head to Georgia to investigate. With their dogs Hawk and Lacey, Meg and Brian are enlisted to follow the scent of a killer. At first, nothing seems to connect the two victims - a county commissioner and State Patrol officer. But the blood sport around the southern town of Blue Ridge is just beginning. 

As the body count rises, the compound bow killer becomes even more elusive, appearing and vanishing like a ghost. However, with each new slaying Meg is beginning to suspect the grim design that's escalating in the shadows. A tragic event that reaches back nearly two centuries in Georgia's history is now turning Blue Ridge into a hunting ground. But as Meg gets closer to solving the puzzle, the closer she is to stepping into the crosshairs of an elusive murderer with deadly aim, and motives as deep and dark as the woods....

Like the author, hated the narrator.

I love this series, I loved the other books in the series and i loved Angela Dawe as the narrator. I don’t know why they changed the narrator for this book but in my opinion it was a huge mistake. Normally i don’t like to leave bad reviews for a narrator but i did for this book because the narrator ruined the book for me. Her tone of voice is off, there is no tone change between dialogues or characters or to show emotion Uggggh i hope they go back to Angela Dawe for the next book, if they don’t i will not be buying that book.

New narrator ruins experience

Normally I devour the FBI K9 books in a day. This one has taken me over a week because I hate the new narrator. She doesn't get into the characters, has a mechanical voice, and generally sounds like a robot.

Narrator changed

It really threw me for a loop having a new narrator for this book from the first 4 books in the series. I was so used to the other one and all her voices that i struggled a bit keeping up with who was “talking” in this story because it was all different. Not that this narrator did a poor job or anything, it was just strange since the rest of the series has been the same one. I found it harder to stay engaged with the story just because of that.

Go back to Angela Dawe, PLEASE!!

I have listened to every single book in this FBI K9 series, all previously narrated by the incomparable Angela Dawe. The books are wonderful on its own merits and this series has become one of my favorites. I love the fleshed out characters, the scenarios, and mostly the dogs. The author outdoes herself with every entry in the series with immense intrigue, adventure and thrills. I have recommended this author/series to my friends.

Angela Dawe brings that extra sparkle in her narration. I was greatly disappointed when seeing Ms. Dawe was not the narrator for this book. Unfortunately, this narrator Susan Bennett fails to convey the same sense of sparkle that Angela Dawe did. Mind you, I have listened to other audiobooks narrated by Susan Bennett but she seemed outright bored in this book. Over time I grew used to her lack of intonations and mediocrity but I wouldn't recommend this audiobook with Susan Bennett if you are used to having Angela Dawe as the narrator. You will end up being as disappointed as I am.

great story, delightful narrator!

Great book, kept my attention and I wanted to listen all the way through but life got in the way! lol
